It is webkit based.

I have read somewhere Kindle run in Java on
JSR-217 Personal Basis Profile 1.1.

I have a device with limited capabilities, no midp apis are available.
I only have cdc/pp/pbp, that means basic awt...

I don't want to rewrite a rendering layer so if kindle did it, I would like to reuse that layer.

Is the code open source, or does anyone have a contact with kindle/amazon?

Thank you
Am I missing something here?
